The Hallway Postal Clerk.

Now the train starts. Tho postal clerk
has been pulling heavy pouches around
or throwing letters into the boxes for
half an hour, and if he is unused to the
work his muscles begin to feel tired.
But he must not quit or take rest, even
for a moment, because his labor has Just
begun. He must brace himself up and
enter upon desperate game of follow
my leader-the leader being man who
has been in the service for years and has
worked himself up from an apprentice to
the high and mighty Office of chief clerk
in charge of the car, whose power is for
the time as absolute as that of the car of
all the Russias. AS the train dashcs
along ell these clerks must continue their
work, now made 100 per cent harder by
the swaying of the car. They must brace
themselves first one way and then
another, always keeping up that cease
less throw, throw, throw, not for one
hour or two, but for eight or ten hours,
taking on additional pouches as the train
flies through the country at q breakneck
speed, and throwing off other pouches as
the stations are passed, all the while in a
state of uncertainty as to whether the
pouch knocked out the small boy stand
ing on the station platform, or landed in
the middle of the corniie4d near by.
The train does not stop at any but i'm
portant towns, and the postal clerks must
take chances ON the pouch they throw off
to the rural postmaster striking the
ground anywhere within quarter of a
mile of him. By the time tho clerk has
got to the end of his run, the place being
Chicago, st. Louis, Pittsburg, Grafton,
Cleveland, as the case may be, and hay
ing been kept in violent motion, legs,
arms and mind, ell the time, it is only
reasonable to suppose that he feels tired,
and he does Cincinnati Times-Star.

p,eosant for the Critic.

You know the man who always wants
your opinion of him or something he's
done, the candid truth, and then quarrels
with you for giving it to him. He has
various methods. but this is one of the
neatest I've heard for long time for a
iudicious hint. A celebrated artist in
New York had just finished picture.
Artists don't like to be advertised. 1t is
for love of art they paint, and they are
hurt if their name gets into the news
papers favorably. That, however, is a
universal failing. The picture had be9n
on show in his studio in q private way,
and the painter called upon the art critic
of a big New York daily, an old friend
of his. He found him very glad to see
him, of course.
II want you to come and take look
at my new picture" said he. "1t's just
finished"
..I'll be delighted, certainly"
"I'vo only ono thing to ask. We've
been close friends for years, ands of
courc that may influence you. But l
don't want it to. l want you to lay
aside all recollection of our friendship;
look upon me simply as painter who
has painted picture. l want you to
come to my studio and give me cold
blooded criticism of the work. I've just
licked ono fellow who said he didn' like
it. San Francisco Chronicle.

Teapot and Punch Bowl.

Afternoon teas are filling up the remaining
days of the season at Washington and the
teapot and punch bowl still draw" as
theatrical people put it. lackadaisical
youth who was making eyes and saying
soulful things i'll a languid way to pretty
assistant at reception was handed glass of
punch to change the conversation. Tasting
the compound, he rolled his eyes up, and
said, "This punch is a symphony" He was
only equaled by Kansas man who was taken
to one of Mrs. Cockrells receptions, and being
given her famous punch did not know whether
it was symphony or not. In fact, he
did not know what the stuff was that he was
drinking, as he was a rigid total abstinence
man. He was shy es well, and seeing that
every one else had little glass cup of tho
harmless looking liquid he took one too. The
poor man thought it was some kind of ten,
and the bowl seemed more innocent to him
than a bottle. He remarked to friend
afterward that it was very nice, but that he
believed that it made him feel very oueerly,
One hostess has introduced this winter the
fashion so common in Paris of having hot
punch. She is an original woman all around,
though, and caps the climax by giving her
hot punch at her Sunday evening receptions.

Christian Converts from Buddhism.


met gentleman few days ago who has
but recently returned from a residence of
several years in India. He is well educated.
and during his long residence in the land of
Buddhism he turned his attention especially
to the effects of Christianity upon the fol-
lowers of Gautama At first ne was deeply
impressed by the devotion shown by the ma
tives who professed to have embraced the
religion of the western world. He found
them faithful in their attendance at the SER
vices held by the missionaries and very care
full in following out the instructions given
them by their teachers In fact they We're.
as a rule, far more devout than the members
of the European colonies
After studying them for some time, how
ever, my friend became convinced that a
very large percentage of the apparently con-
verified natives were far from being sincere in
their protestations. While parading before
the Europeans as devoted Christians thew
were secretly as faithful followers of Buddha
as even the most punctiious member of the
Exalted Order of the Star of India could
wish them to be. My friend found that the
native OF India, like the heather Chinee, had
a great deal that was .artful and blandu
about his character, and simply pulled the
wool over the missionaries eyes in order to
keep in the good graces of the Europeans.
He explained that native who was known
to have embraced the religion of the west en-
joyed great many more advantages among
tho Europeans residing in India than the one
who failed to renounce Buddhism.

The Paryenu's Plate.

I have known Boston parvenues to buy
English plato already supplied with coats
of arms, etc, and then faithfully live up
to the pictures on the silver, Hero this
is positive fact: An English lord who
came over hero to visit some American
friends was very much pleased to find
that all the bowls, pitchers and glasses
in the apartments devoted to his use bore
his family crest. He commented on the
delicacy of the compliment to his WIFE
They found out subsequently, however,
that several years before their American
friends had appropriated the pictorial de-
vice for their own use simply because
they thought it pretty and attractive.
When the guests chamber had been done
up by the artist, then admiration for ii
had weakened, and the coat of arms in
use in other portions of the house was
entirely different.-New York Mail and

Senator StanfOrd's Wife.

1t seems Mrs. Stanford will never be q great
society woman, although this winter, for the
first time since t,eir sons death, she has
come out of retirement and has also enter
tanned some. But she can't help having her
superb diamonds remarked on and her
gorgeous gems observed. She still wears a

CONTROL OF THE EYES.

Something That Is Particularly Neces-
sary in the City of New York.
The greatest secret of enjoying existence in
New York is that one must be absolutely tho
master of his own eyes. Hungry Joe, the
arch confidence operator, used to say that he
could distinguish q stranger by his hat or
shoes. The idea that these betray men is so
deep rooted that many strangers always buy
New York hats and shoes us soon as they ar
rive, while others who expect to come often
to town order these wearables from city
shops But you can get correct hats and
shoes in any large city, and Off styles in tho
Bowery.
But whatever one looks like he must con-
troll his eyes or life will be perpetual tor
mcnt to him. Our dudes and Anglomaniac
society carry the thing too far They go
about forever looking over every ones head
or else staring with q dead and live CLASSY
look, insulting alike to whomsoever they
glance at and to their own intelligence This
they think "the grand air" and their admirers
dub it aristocratic. A ward politician tho
other day said to me that the leader of u GER
tain political faction was 'gitting 'ristocratic !"
asked him how he was showing this.
"Oh," said the heller, "he hasa tired look,
and he don't seem to see you less he wants"
But by eye control l mean the seeing of
everything without being seen to do so. This
necessity is bred by the horde Of street bandits
that prey upon every man out of DOORS
Their number is legion and their ways are
the ways of brigands. Ii a man lets his
eyes fall on a boy who utters o peculiar
street cry he is apt to havo from two
to six nowsboys leap for him like
so many human catapults. As he steps from
a hotel, theatre, depot or club, if he allows
his eyes to wander an instant he will be at
once surrounded and hemmed in by cabmen,
each seeking his CUSTOM even by violence
II he turns his head to look at the mendicant
who addresses him he may not be able to get
rid of tho fellow for a block. Resting the
eye for an instant on group of well dressed
men (who may be interested in "quiet

uble crank, may prove to have very annoy

Eeef in Southw estern Texas.

In some of the yards we see the people
drying long strips of beef on frames,
which is their favorite way of keeping it,
the flesh becoming dry and hard, SO that
it will last long time. Even in hot
weather the evaporation is rapid and the
meat dries before tainting, and can then
be carried anywhere without danger Of
losing it. Thus treated the beef is whole
some and good, and by no means unpala-
table. 1t may be sold by the yard, as it
looks like SO many brown ropes hanging
from the frames. Mexican butchers have
the llnack of stringing the meat out in
this way, which must have been acquired
from the Indians, who do the same. No
salt is necessary, When one of the in
habitants wishes to mako a trip into
Mexico he gets his meat ready, then his
cornmeal and away he goes, finding
water for himself and his horse at known
places, the animal feeding on what grass
it can find, and doing well enough. -

Patience q Great Holm.

A lady who had been FRUSTRATED by a
serious accident underwent q critical
surgical operation. After it was over she
inquired of the surgeon how long she
should have to remain in bed. "Only

gpondcd. The thought had a soothing in

ancc to it from day to day, feeling of
resignation was engendered which did

Reverence for River Sources.

Tho natives of India have a great rev.
erence for the sources of q number of
their largest rivers, whose waters by
means OF irrigating works are often used
i'll times Of drought to nourish the soil
and prevent or mitigate famine. The
GodavcrY, the most important river in
south Inlia, takes its rise in a brook that
issues from hillside near tho village of
Nassik. Tho spot where this brook
gushcs from tho rock is approached by a
flight Of $50 stone steps. at the top of
which is groa5 stone platform built at
the foot of tho rock from which tho
stream issues. An image under large
canopy has been 60 placed that the water
pours out of its mouth and then goes
sparkling down the hill. From this spot
the stream flows 900 miles right across

MistreatInent of Colds.

There have been more colds than l
have noticed during the winter, and men
with stuffed heads are taking nauseous
medicines to break up the blockade.
There's the trouble with most people-too
much medicine. You have heard the adj
age: "Feed cold and starve a fever"
That's not the modern reading, which
should be: "Starve a cold," etc. 1t is
cruel to deny patients with a fever food
and drink, and it is very bad to cat
heavily when your system is filled with
congestion from cold Don't stuff your
stomach, for abstemiousness with simple
remedies is a sure cure. Take no supper,
battle your feet in hot water and go to
bed to prespire, and you will wake up re-
loved. Going out at nights and eating
at establishments or indulging in ban
Gucts is the best aid to q cold. Serve the
courses slowly. get home after IL o'clock
and you will be out of shape for a week
